I strongly urge y’all to check out this video of Ms. Platnum, a German/Hungarian songstress that’s reminiscent of a cross between Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen with a little Fergie (when she’s not rapping). She’s actually not bad. This is her video for her song “Give Me The Food” and girlfriend is not about eating just “yogurt and strawberries,” she’s trying to EAT. Here’s what she had to say about Beyonce, Ciara and Mariah Carey:
“She is a part of me,” Renner says, “but sometimes, it helps to exaggerate: to think of a story not just as your own story, to take parts of it but then make something up, and make a whole new thing. I think the exaggeration and the ironic thing - the humour - is very important. I’m missing that in R&B and soul music right now, so that’s also why I wanted to do something almost against all the Ciaras and Beyoncés. Mariah Carey used to be such a great singer, but now she’s just all plastic. Poor little lady………
I love R&B, I don’t wanna make fun of it,” says Renner. “I just laugh about how people are: I’m pointing the finger at anyone who’s imitating that kind of airbrushed perfection. I just want to make better R&B music, for myself, and find a corner where I fit in. And I’ve realised I don’t fit in this Beyoncé/Ciara type of thing: I don’t look like them, and never will do, so I just try to do my own thing. Most young ladies, when they start thinking about doing R&B or soul or hip-hop, they all look at these types and then they try to imitate them. And realising that you cannot really get there is maybe a good thing. For me it was.”
LMAO @ poor little lady. After seeing Mariah in the video with Bone Thugs “Lil’ L.O.V.E” I concur! Here’s the video (it’s in English don’t worry):
